The Conversation first talked with Dr. Jonathan Dworkin at the start of the pandemic. An infectious disease doctor at Queen's, he and a group of health care providers pushed back against the state on two key strategies: testing and contact tracing.
Now on the Big Island at Queen's North Hawaiʻi Community Hospital, he wrote a book just released by Watermark Publishing called "Plague Doctors: How Hawaiʻi Battled the Pandemic." It's about how Hawaiʻi "handled—or mishandled—the first eighteen months of the pandemic."
